Multidisciplinary Artist
& Neo-Shaman
Born in 1992 (France), Mathilde Lefort is a multidisciplinary artist based in Bali. Her work explores shamanism and social changes through abstract paintings, sculptures, and performances. Interweaving neo-shamanism and contemporary art, Mathilde explores a diverse range of mediums and techniques, harmoniously blending minimalist black artworks with golden scriptures. She employs an innovative mix of unconventional materials such as iron powder, cement, or lava to deepen her contemplation of the physical reality we inhabit. Through reflection on the potential of art for social change, her art serves as a meditative practice illuminating a profound interconnection between the visible and invisible worlds. Each piece is conceived as an empowerment tool, reflecting her commitment to both personal and collective transformation through artistic exploration.
